What Scott Lawrence doesn't like about Asahi Japanese:
Small and cramped, food is over priced, and some of the staff is just RUDE!!! You can’t understand half of what the servers are saying because they are still masking. This place is ridiculous. View all feedback. What Kld K likes about Asahi Japanese:
These folks know how to serve amazing food with excellent customer service. They are skilled in taking good care of their customers. The food is amazing. They serve incredible sushi that is fresh and flavorful. View all feedback.

In the heart of Saint Matthews, this charming sushi restaurant offers a mix of experiences for diners. Many highlight the fresh and flavorful sushi rolls, particularly the Rock n Roll, Monster Roll, and various specialty options, complemented by attentive service. While some diners appreciate the quality, others express disappointment in non-sushi dishes like hibachi and chicken, describing them as lacking taste and freshness. The casual atmosphere, along with friendly staff, makes it an appealing spot for a casual outing. Overall, while the sushi earns glowing reviews, the kitchen may need to refine other menu items for a more cohesive dining experience.
